In this episode, I dive into the fascinating world of paradoxes—especially how they show up in life and mediumship. Drawing from my own experiences, I discuss the delicate balance of caring deeply while needing to detach, seeking validation while knowing it can block us, and other spiritual paradoxes that challenge our understanding. Tune in for a reflective and thought-provoking conversation about how these contradictions can lead us to deeper truths in our spiritual practice.

On this day of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada I sit down with Emily Brant, an Indigenous writer, speaker, and mentor who is on a mission to decolonize the personal development and coaching industries. Emily, a Turtle Clan member from the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, works with coaches, leaders, and healers to create more inclusive spaces where everyone feels seen, safe, and supported. Through her work, Emily guides others to unlearn colonized ways of thinking and offers tools to help foster communities that value decolonization at their core.

In this episode, we dive into Emily’s journey, her experiences with assimilation, and the crucial moment when she realized that her Indigenous identity was key to her business growth and personal development. We also explore how Emily is helping others navigate these spaces, offering practical advice for decolonizing the coaching industry and addressing deep-rooted trauma.

If you’ve been curious about how colonization impacts the coaching world or want to learn more about Indigenous perspectives in business and healing, this episode offers profound insights into the ongoing journey of decolonization.
